The other day, I bought a few tomatillos for making some salsa, but then decided to go with something closer to home- a dal. I grew up on simply fabulous Indian food and this fruit was not something I had ever seen or even heard of before. It continued to remain unfamiliar to me even after I came here. I remember seeing tomatillos in the produce section of my grocery store here and always thinking of them as green, unripe tomatoes. Thanks to blogging, I know a lot more these days and am also less afraid to experiment.

Uma- I am glad you like the picture.:) I did not send across anything for CLICK this time...

Arundhati- thank you. :-)

Rajitha- When did I get mad at ya for complimenting my pics, huh?It did not take too long(15- 20 min), but what took more time was selecting one among the numerous shot. That is always very difficult for me.;-)

Sra- ooh moong dal and coconut milk- the stuff yummy pradhamans are made of! I don't think I 've made a curry with that combo though. Do u have a recipe for it on your blog?

Richa- it really does! :-)

I made my T chuntney- as u call it;-)- and had it with some sago khichdi for BF today. :D

Anjali- I seldom go for elaborate preparations!;-)

Tee- how have you been? I have not seen u around in a while now. I make dal with kokum following one of Trupti's(The Spice Who Loved Me) recipes. It tastes really good, doesn't it?

MS- thanks for the compliment.:)No you did not miss my entry...I did not send one across this time.

Bee- thank you.:)

Vanamala- and it was!:-)

Kalai- That is true...yeah I could have called it a kootu too. But it would have to be of slightly thicker consistency, right?I like tomatillos too.:-)

Vaishali- I am going to look masial up. I have heard of it before but can't quite remember now what goes into it. Do you a recipe for it over at your place?

Cynthia- 'cos that's what you do to me when I visit you! ;-)

Easycrafts- thank you.:)

Sig- thank you.:DThere are tomatillo plants in Kerala?! I did not know that. I can understand why nobody ate the fruit though.;-)

Swati- thank you!:-)
